Jim Brown
American Athlete
Concussions have brought the consciousness to the problem, but I think the problem is football-related injuries, period, and the lack of support from the league of those players who have suffered those injuries. The denial factor has been unbelievable. I'm here because I'm a fighter to try to bring attention to this fact.
Quote examples
Ryan Mason
Ultimately the specialists that I've seen and spoken to, if you do get a whack on the head and there's a small sort of concussion, and then you go and get another whack on the head within minutes, then that's when the damage can be done. And I think that's where we can potentially protect the players a lot more.
Quote examples
Brian Urlacher
American Athlete
I think they shouldn't allow cut blocks, because our knees are important to us, too. I know concussions are a big deal, too, but I think knee, cut blocks are a big deal, but that seems to be OK with the NFL. So they're not too concerned about safety, obviously.
Quote examples
Steve Largent
American Athlete
The more studies that come out that talk about concussions and so forth, it makes me wonder. I wonder, more importantly than the stroke, the impact that concussions have had on my life, particularly as I get older.
Quote examples
Rush Limbaugh
American Entertainer
If you really want to get rid of the problems in the NFL, put Obama in charge of it: in a few months it will be so deep in debt it will have to go out of business - no more concussions.
Quote examples
Tom Udall
American Politician
Athletes, coaches and parents today are increasingly aware of the danger of concussion, and this awareness influences decisions about buying new and reconditioned football helmets.

Peter Berg
American Actor
Life is, and should be, a little hard. Getting punched in the face or getting an occasional concussion will probably happen to us all at some point in our lives. We can handle it.

Scott Hall
American Wrestler
Mental illness is real, and I got them. I don't know if it's the multiple concussions or the lifestyle choices.

Abby Wambach
American Athlete
The most important thing is to get better at your craft, and concussions and head impacts are a setback.

I think the one thing I can say is not to play through concussions. I think that's unwise.
